Poem ~~ They were a couple sort of strange ...

Ish and Less;
  their split

Ish and Less were cousins estranged
They once were chums if ever was
Never apart joined at the hip
Kissing cousins they might have been

But that was then and this is now
Ish hooked up with a Fool--Fool Ish
They parted ways Fool Ish has gone
Now alone Less was feeling low

She cried and cried and couldn't sleep
No Rest she was getting fret fret
Mother came to aid if she could
Said to her this pill gives you Rest

Sure enough Rest had come to her
Dreaming or was she now Rest Less
